Abstract: Method and device for processing a communication network A method and a device for processing a communication network are provided, wherein (a) a first performance parameter of the communication network is determined; (b) a third performance parameter is determined based on the first performance parameter and a second performance parameter, which second performance parameter was previously determined, wherein the second performance parameter comprises a forecast of an expected network performance over time until the end of the scheduled lifetime of the communication network; and (c) the communication network is processed based on the third performance parameter. Furthermore, an according computer program product is suggested.

Abstract: A process of isolating a REE or a group of REE from a solution or dispersion containing said REE or said group of REEs comprising the following steps: (i) preparing a mixture comprising said solution or dispersion and biomass comprising at least one organism selected from any one of the following organism classes: eubacteria, archaea, algae, and fungi, whereby the at least one organism is capable of adsorbing or accumulating said REE or said group of REEs; (ii) incubating said mixture of step (i) for allowing the adsorption or accumulation of said REE or said group of REEs by said biomass; (iii) separating the biomass having adsorbed or accumulated REE(s) from the mixture of step (ii); and (iv) isolating said REE or said group of REEs from said biomass separated in step (iii).
